174 Stop Giving Away Your Power: The Sales Mindset Shift That Changes Everything with Amy Sulka

You've been there—that moment after a sales call when you realize you've done all the talking. You've shared your expertise, pitched your solution, even offered to "follow up" (again). And somehow, you still feel like you're the one chasing them. What if that feeling isn't just in your head? What if you're actually giving away your power in these interactions without even realizing it? In this episode of Your Passion, Purpose, and Personal Brand, host Lisa McGuire sits down with sales powerhouse Amy Sulka to uncover the hidden mindset traps that sabotage your success long before any negotiation begins. The Truth No One Tells You About Sales Amy doesn't mince words: "No one is taking our power. We're giving it away." This isn't just another tactical sales conversation about closing techniques or objection handling. It's a wake-up call about how the subtle language we use, the desperation we carry, and the assumptions we make silently undermine our authority with every interaction. Amy reveals how saying things like "I'm just following up" or "Thank you for your time" aren't harmless pleasantries—they're unconscious signals that diminish your equal business stature and position you as a vendor rather than a trusted advisor. Whether you're a solopreneur trying to land your next client, a sales professional hitting roadblocks, or a business owner tired of working "in" rather than "on" your business, Amy's perspective provides the permission and pathway to step into your power. Listen to this episode if you're ready to transform not just how you sell, but how you show up in every professional interaction. As Amy reminds us, "Until you think of yourself as a trusted advisor, your prospect never will." KEY TAKEAWAYS In what situations do we stop qualifying and start pitching and hoping.
